By the rivers of babylon, where we sat down
Yeah we wailed, remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, where we sat down
Yeah we wailed, remembered Zion
When the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now, how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are gone and the bright days are here
My sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny, one so true, I love you

There lived a certain man in russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of love, ecstasy and fire
But, he also was a kind of teacher in them put desire

Ra ra rasputin
Lover of the russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
Ra ra rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said I' ll be fine
Ra ra rasputin
Lover of the russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
Ra ra rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
An' so they shot him 'til he was dead
Oh those russians
